Pedestrian Accessibility Analysis
Prayagraj Metro — Network-Based Walkshed Mapping
Objective
To evaluate pedestrian accessibility to proposed Prayagraj Metro stations using a road-network-based approach and identify walkable catchment areas within realistic walking distances.
Methodology
Pedestrian walksheds were generated at 400m, 800m, and 1.2km using the urban road network to reflect real walking routes rather than straight-line distance. Analysis was performed in QGIS using OpenStreetMap road data and network analysis tools.
Key Insights
The analysis highlights areas with strong first- and last-mile connectivity as well as zones with comparatively limited pedestrian access, providing a spatial perspective on potential accessibility gaps in the proposed metro network.
